Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 1370 The Covenant of the Three Emperors
When the Great Qin Emperor and the Roman Emperor reached an alliance between the two emperors in the Caucasus, the Persian Emperor couldn't sit still.Seeing that the Persian Alliance took advantage of the civil strife in Rome and seized a large amount of land in Rome, now Rome has reached such an important covenant with Daqin.

One hundred thousand Turkic cavalry will come from the Caucasus at any time, and they can directly threaten the capital of Persia, Tessiphon.

In particular, the trade agreement reached between Daqin and Rome will ease Rome's current serious economic crisis, and it will be difficult for Persia to continue to hold Rome's neck.

Batch after batch of Kuslao's envoys rushed to see the Great Qin Emperor, and came here again and again with heavy gifts.But during the alliance, the emperor didn't pay much attention to them.

It was not until the covenant was concluded that the emperor officially received the envoy of the Persian emperor.

After a banquet full of oriental style, the emperor offered to form an alliance with the Persian emperor.

The emperor chose Tiaozhi (Kabul) as the location of the alliance.

This is an important city on the Daqin Daxia Road, and it is also an important town on the Silk Road and a big trading city.It is located in the middle east of Daxia Road, at the southern foot of the Hindu Kush Mountains, in the Tiaozhi River Valley.

This is the only way of the Silk Road connecting Central Asia and South Asia. To the east is the Khyber Pass of the Hindu Kush Mountains, which is the most important valley passage leading to the Tianzhu continent in South Asia.

On the east side of the mountain pass, the Uzhangna, Gandhara, and Gushimi countries occupy the fertile Xindu River Basin in the south of Bolu State, and reach the Tianzhu Sea.

Both Guishuang and Yanda used to cross the Khyber Pass to conquer the Xindu River Basin and rob this fertile land.

Therefore, although most of Daxia is located on the plateau, mostly mountains, Gobi desert, etc., it is an extremely important strategic location. Not only can it reach the Tianzhu continent to the east, but also Persia to the west.

The emperor chose to come here to form an alliance with deep intentions.

The alliance with the Roman emperor concluded the Caucasus Treaty, and the alliance with the Persian emperor also concluded a formal border agreement.

The emperor returned from the Caucasus to the east, returned to the Aral Sea and rested in Huoxun City for a period of time. He no longer took the route of Yaoshashui, but changed to Wuhushui, another river that flows into the Aral Sea, and went west. In Kang Guo, Shi Guo, Cao Guo and other countries, the emperor issued an imperial edict to the Hu kings of Zhaowu in Hezhong.

Anguo was named Anxi County, and its king was named Anxihou. Dong'an was named Mulu County, and its king was named Muluhou.

King He was granted the title of Marquis of Guishuang, and his land was set up in Guishuang County.

King Mi is the Marquis of Nanmi, and his land is located in Nanmi County.King Kang is the Marquis of Kangju, and his land is located in Kangju County.

King Xicao was the Marquis of Sedichen, and his land was Sedihen County. King Xiaoshi granted the title of Marquis of Nasebo, and his land was in Nasebo County.

The king of history named Jisha Hou, and his land was located in Jisha County.

King Shi conferred the title of Marquis of Dawan, whose land was set up in Dawan County, and King Bahana was granted the title of Marquis of Xiuqian, whose land was set up in Xiuqian County.

The emperor set the land south of Qianquan Mountain, west of Congling Mountain, and north of Wuhu River as the middle of the river.

In Hezhong Road, the emperor granted eighteen marquises and established eighteen prefectures, of which there were three prefectures in the imperial court and fifteen prefectures in the feudal lords.

The three counties are Tuozhe County (Tashkent), Zhenzhu County (Fergana), and Samutjian County (Samarkand). These three counties are located in the most important and fertile places in the middle of the river. The valleys, basins and oases of Sanzheng County are controlled concisely, and the characters are connected. At the same time, they also monitor several princes and vassal states such as Kang Guo, which is the most powerful in the river.

The emperor stayed in Hezhong for less than half a year, stationed [-] troops in each of the three main counties, and at the same time personally guided the improvement of Fengdun Junbao, a post station on the Silk Road in Hezhong Road, and the patrol camp.

Then the emperor drove to the southeast, passed Wuhu Mountain and entered Daxia Road.

The emperor also met with the princes in Daxia, and set up eighteen counties, fifteen princely counties, and three Zheng counties.

Sanzheng County is Gumo County, Yuezhi County, and Tiaozhi County. Sanzheng County runs down the Wuhu River and is connected by a north-south line. It guards the important Silk Road traffic line.

The emperor made an alliance with the Persian emperor Kuslao II at the foot of the Snow Mountain (Hindu Kush Mountain), and the Persian emperor traveled thousands of miles from the Persian border.

The Persian emperor brought [-] guards to accompany him, including the powerful and unparalleled Persian heavy cavalry. However, when the Persian emperor saw that there was also a powerful heavy cavalry beside the Great Qin Emperor, he put away the A heart to show off.

Persia has excellent Suozi armor, but Daqin's Mingguang armor is also very excellent.

Not to mention, the Qin army also had the sturdy Modao heavy infantry, as well as the unparalleled cannons for siege.

The Persian emperor was a little dissatisfied with the covenant between Daqin and Rome, and complained that the Daqin emperor shouldn't allow the Turks to serve Rome, but Luo Cheng smiled and said that the Turks were only a vassal of the Daqin, and the imperial court would not interfere with them too much, which made Ku Si Lao is very helpless.

When the Persian Emperor proposed to ask the Great Qin Emperor to issue an order to stop the Turks from sending troops to assist Rome, Luo Cheng proposed to let Persia assign the Gobi desert from the south of Daxia to the sea to Daqin. There is also an outlet to the south. In the future, the land and sea will be connected by the Silk Road, which will bring the trade between Daqin and Persia to a higher level.

After all, that area was previously owned by Guishuang, Yanda, etc., and this area was also very barren, but faced with this unreasonable request, the Kuslao directly refused.

If you really want to count, Persia owned Tocharia a long, long time ago and established a province here.

In the end, Persia is at most willing to maintain the current border and recognize Daqin’s right to inherit the land of Tocharo that was originally occupied by the Turks after they conquered Yanda. The half of the Tocharian land that was assigned to Persia and the part that was taken away were also willing to admit that it belonged to Daqin.

The Persian emperor only hoped to get the support of Daqin.

It is not limited to large loans and the sale of armaments, but also comprehensive trade of other commodities. They hope to get the direct support of the Qin Army, especially the support of the Great Qin Ocean Trading Fleet.

This ocean-going trade fleet was originally a part of the South China Sea Fleet, but later it was drawn out separately. It is powerful, has a large number of new treasure ships, has excellent ocean-going performance, and is well armed. Persia hopes to get the support of this Great Qin ocean-going fleet, so that They had an absolute advantage over Rome in the upcoming naval battle of the siege of Constantinople.

In order to get the support of this elite ocean-going armed fleet, the Persian emperor was willing to offer a very sincere employment fee.

But no matter how many gold coins the Persian emperor was willing to give, Luo Chengcheng was unwilling. Even if the Persian emperor gritted his teeth and proposed to set aside a piece of land on the Persian border in the south of Great Xia, Luo Cheng did not agree.

Although the Persian emperor was willing to set aside hundreds of miles of land, the border between the two countries was a large desert and the Gobi Desert, and there were only a few small oases. With such a land of hundreds of miles, and far from the coastline, there were only a few tribes Herdsmen live in this kind of buffer border, which is almost equivalent to no man's land, what's the use of it.

Since Persia refused to really give the territory, the emperor was not interested in just giving a desert of five or six hundred miles.

This alliance lasted for more than a month, until the Roman Emperor Heraclius had asked Tong Yehu to lead the Turkic army out of the Caucasus and into the Persian border, and Kuslao could not end the alliance.

In the end, Persia also failed to receive the direct support of the Qin army. The Emperor Daqin just borrowed a large loan from Persia, and then the two parties negotiated a large purchase contract for treasure ships and warships. However, these warships must be delivered. The fastest batch will be three years later.

For Persia, this is a bit helpless, but it can only be so. In the end, Luo Cheng and King Kuslao II signed the covenant between the Great Qin Empire and the Persian Empire, demarcating the borders, and King Kuslao II recognized it Daqin controlled the entire territory of the original Turks in Tocharo, and also generously donated half of the [-]-mile desert to the south to Daqin.

After completing the covenant, Emperor Kuslao hurried back to Persia with the [-] sets of Daqin armored cavalry suits he bought from Luo Cheng.

And the emperor also began to return north.

When the emperor returned to Congling in the north, another civil strife broke out in the Bolu Kingdom, the capital was breached, the king and royal family were all slaughtered, and the Bolu rebels even besieged Daqin's military city in Bolu.

After the emperor received a letter from the Bolu Qin army asking for help, he simply waved his troops across the Congling Corridor (Wakhan Corridor) and directly entered the Bolu Kingdom.
